This issue has been posted to d-acts, but I think it needs to be resolved in OMRSE: https://github.com/d-acts/d-acts/issues/35

Current proposal on the table is to change the definition to "A role that inheres in some entity that is realized in some social act." This is slightly different than Jonathan's proposal in that is changes "a social act" to "some social act" to allow for one or more social acts to realize this role.

The canonical form of a genus-differentia definitions is A is B that Cs. It does not necessarily include the use of some C or only C. The use of some and only have important consequences in the formal (e.g., OWL) axioms. I am unsure if they are are needed in the textual definition.

Personally, I've waffled in my use of "some" in textual definitions. Sometimes including and sometimes not. So, I am unsure what the standard needs to be :(

@wdduncan this sounds good to me; we can change it to "...a social act."
